========================================================================
Marcin,
Re-distribution is permitted as long as the copyright is
maintained and the source code is not changed. I do not
see a problem with your mods to enable fileop for Linux-arm,
as these mods have been returned to the Iozone folks,
and they have been accepted for inclusion in the next
release :-)
Thank you for your contribution, Don Capps

Morning
I want to include iozone3 in OpenEmbedded [1] metadata to give it for other developers. Currently OE is used to build few distributions for misc platforms: ARM, SH3, SH4, x86, PowerPC and different types of machines (PDA, settopbox, devboards, desktops, thin clients, routers).
According to your distribution of derivations is forbidden. Packaging iozone3 in OpenEmbedded will not involve any source code changes. But when I was building it for ARM I discovered that fileop binary was not built - so I created patch for it (attached). Not yet tested it on target device.
Thus, I seek your written permission via e-mail to distribute a package of the unmodified source code and also a package of the pre-compiled binary. Your copyright statement will be included in the package.
